Central Marzannan Free Trade Commission

[Arkiania]

This has been something I have been thinking of doing for a pretty long time but never really had the motivation or know how to do. Please do correct me for errors and other things.

The thing I want to create is something that has two layers. The first layer being signatory Marzannan nations which along with free trade are to have closer economic cooperation and the second layer is nations which choose to associate or affiliate agree to free trade with the signatory marzannan nations via negotiation with the commission.

The nations that would eligible for joining the treaty would be Saratov, Mordvania, Valisfoldek, Biyra, Nentsi, and Videjszeme. Other nations who seek free trade would negotiate the commission and have free trade with all signatory nations.

Proposed Treaty Preamble

Speaking on behalf of Nentsia, it would be interested in signing free trade agreements due its geographic location and well... dependence on other countries for economic development.

However that country is probably one big mess right now, politically, and not really in a position to worry about international agreements. I haven't touched it in while though and haven't thought where they would currently stand, but its probably closer to a civil war than to a functioning government.

Harmajaa will likely be interested. Havent played with them in a while but right around now their infrastructure development should be nearly done and the govt should be insane amounts of debt lol

Calgarov might do it....depending on who else does it.

The Republic of Mordvania would be certainly interested to get some kind of greater access to Central Marzanna markets.
